MiniMed TM 780G Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop System Study in Pregnant Women with Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Retrospective observational study

Authors' conclusion

The AHCL system provided good glucose control during pregnancy and recommendation targets were reached during the nocturnal period only. The maternal and neonatal complications remained high.
